OMG! Best race ever! Turn the sound on so you can hear the announcer.
This video of a July 6th race at Emerald Downs Race Track and Casino in Auburn, Washington is hilarious. The thoroughbreds were swapped for runners in T-Rex costumes. If you haven't seen it yet, enjoy! If you've seen it, it's fun to watch again (and again)! When you run a half marathon you see views you would miss in a car. That's definitely true on the Tamiami Trail🐬 in Sarasota. BTW, Tamiami stands for Tampa to Miami. First Watch Sarasota Half Marathon runners spend the most time on the Tamiami Trail after re-crossing the Ringling Bridge. The trail is one of the main roads in Sarasota, so it’s fun to race it on foot. You’ll see a lot of businesses and condos on the Trail. The relay exchange area is at Mile 6. The Trail is easy in the early morning darkness, but it heats up as the sun rises. Expect to be in the sun from Mile 5 to 7, and again from Mile 11 to the finish. There’s shade in the older Bayshore Neighborhoods, but more about that part of the course next time. Keep reading for more info and a discount code for the Sarasota Half and Relay!

My decision depends on how well I trained and if I'm running with a friend. Most of the time, I find myself using the pacers for motivation and information even if I don't formally join a group. (Pace groups are casual — join or don't, no big deal.) I've run alone with a pacer and I've run in large groups. Sometimes I jump in and out of groups. I start with a group, then move ahead. Or, I join a group and fall behind. Sometimes I get an extra push by deciding a group behind me will not catch me. Pace groups may seem intimidating at first, but they're a fantastic tool. Pacers keep you engaged in conversation. They offer coaching tips. They keep you motivated throughout a race. You meet new people and share the race experience. Races provide pacers to make the event better for participants. Disclaimer: I'm promoting Key West Half and 5K as a BibRave Pro.

Or, run your own pace within the 4-hour limit (18 minute miles). The Key West Half Marathon has pacers for 1:40 to 3 hour finish time.
